Forty-eighth challenge finish of the year.
I found a prompt to to put my book club selection under! I had to Google to check that boredom is an emotion (never really thought of it as an emotion). It is. Then I Googled whether one could be intensely bored (it seemed like an oxymoron to me); it turns out people do suffer from intense boredom. So, yay, there is my strong emotion! LOL
This is about a butler (from early to mid 1900s). His job was how he defined himself. He had no clue how to relate to people in a personal way. I wanted to slap him and scream. Oh, look! Anger is another strong emotion it provoked. :)
Forty-ninth challenge finish of the year.
I have been dreading this prompt all year, as I'm not much of a fantasy genre fan. One of this author's books was listed as a candidate for this prompt on the Goodreads community page. I didn't find the one that was mentioned available at my library, but I found this one, In Calabria. It was a quick read at under 200 pages.
This modern-day fable was about a farmer who's property is visited by a unicorn. It was a sweet story about the farmer and his animals and neighbors. I'm still multitasking, so listened to the audiobook. I have to say that the narration of this one was delightful.
Fiftieth challenge finish of the year.
The Armand Gamache series of mysteries isn't necessarily a favorite, but they are reliably sure of including a red herring; and the cast of characters are growing on me. :)
I feel like these last few prompts didn't excite me, so I put off reading books that would fill them.
